You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject certain cookies. You may be able to manage your preferences through our cookie banner or cookie consent tool, where available. Essential cookies cannot be rejected because they are necessary for the website to function.

Please note that if you disable cookies, some parts of our website may not function properly, including shopping cart, checkout, account login, payment processing, or preference features.
Browser controls vary depending on the browser you use. Please refer to your browser’s help menu or support documentation for instructions on managing cookies.
8. Do Not Track and Privacy Signals
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” or similar privacy signals. Because there is not yet a consistent industry standard for how online services should respond to these signals, our website may not respond to all such signals in the same way.
Where required by applicable law, we will honor legally recognized opt-out preference signals or provide other methods for you to manage your privacy and cookie choices.
9. Web Beacons, Pixels and Similar Technologies
Cookies are not the only technology used to recognize or track visitors. We may use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, tags, scripts, SDKs, or clear GIFs. These technologies may help us understand website traffic, measure advertising performance, confirm email engagement, improve site functionality, and detect security issues.
In many cases, these technologies rely on cookies to function properly, so disabling cookies may affect how they work.
10. Targeted Advertising
We may work with advertising partners who use cookies or similar technologies to show relevant advertisements and measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. These partners may collect information about your visits to our website and other websites over time.
This information may be used to help display ads that are more relevant to your interests, limit how often you see certain ads, measure campaign performance, and improve our marketing.
The information collected through these technologies does not directly identify you unless you provide identifying information or the advertising partner is able to connect it with other data under its own policies.
11. Local Storage and Similar Technologies
We may use browser local storage, session storage, or similar technologies to remember information about your visit. These technologies may support website functionality, cart activity, preferences, fraud prevention, analytics, and performance improvements.
